2018 Alta Redshift MXR Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Alta for the cross - motocross motorcycle segment, the 2018 Alta Redshift MXR features a purpose-built liquid-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 50 HP (36.5 kW) while maximum torque reaches 199.3 Nm (147 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 1-speed gearbox.

On the scales, the Redshift MXR measures 117.5 kg (259 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.43 HP/kg (2.35 kg per horsepower).
